Some happy gift recipients
Tamara Barton-Campbell
I received a voucher from my sister as a gift and decided to embark on a solo adventure for some fun. With the Easter bank holiday providing ample time, I dove into the experience eager to learn and play. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and infused the session with humor, making them perfect contenders for stand-up comedy. I appreciated the intimate setting and the diverse mix of guests, + more
Seema Chopra
I bought the introduction to table top making course as a gift for my partners birthday. Dan was really informative, thorough, knowledgeable and funny! The venue was fantastic, a lovely studio set on the Thames, with lots of light and really tidy and inspiring. The equipment was in good condition and we had access to so many tools. We mainly used the router, sander and circular saw. We were taught + more
Maria Costa
Textured Silver Ring Making Workshop
The silver ring class was a Xtmas gift from my daughters to me and my husband. The teacher was great. Very welcoming, very nice, funny, dynamic and very clear. The venue was a very cute little cafe, with very good food, with a bonus discount for work-shoppers. The materials were appropriate and well explained. I had a great experience!
Marina
I booked this class for a birthday present for a friend and three of us went. The teacher was really nice and helpful, she spread her time evenly, and she answered all our questions. There was enough time for one object repair and someone had enough time to fix his own bowl as well. All materials were provided and of great quality, and the ceramics are upcycled. The venue was very nice, just a bit + more
Dr May Myanmar
Excellent gift idea if wanting to do something more creative! Really enjoyed the class where we made mosaic mirrors. I only wish we had time to have some of the snacks as we were too focused on trying to finish the pieces. Depending on the idea for your mosaic piece you should factor in time for executing it as I think a few of us were focused alot of detail and trying to make our pieced look great + more
Tom
I bought this as a gift for my husband for Lunar New Year, and this was the earliest class that we could make together! Iris was such a patient, warm and attentive teacher and really good at explaining the history and heritage of this ancient art. We got to practising quite quickly using the paper and brushes provided, and I appreciated that Iris would come around and spend some time with each of us, + more
Bogdan
I reviewed this as a gift from some close friends. My girlfriend and I had a lovely time. Our instructor, Mal, was very helpful and informative. We each successfully created a pot with our instructor’s help and guidance.

Pottery Class - Throwing on the Wheel
We absolutely loved it! Birthday present for my boyfriend (his idea!) Not something I would have thought of but would recommend Dave & his patience to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you for a great afternoon. Great value for money!
Tobias
Classic Vegetarian Indian Cooking Class
This cooking course was a gift for my husband’s birthday, as he’s passionate about cooking. Steve made us feel very welcome into his home and he had a great set up for cooking. All the ingredients provided were fresh and of quality. We learnt lots of tips and tricks to get the best out of your curries and how we can alter them to make many more dishes at home. We also learnt about all the different + more
Sandra Boyce
Wheel Throwing Taster Workshop
It was a birthday present for my partner. The teacher was really good, helpful, encouraging and gave attention to all class members. The venue was fine and spacious. We were given lots of pieces of clay to work with. I learnt how to throw the clay on the wheel how to bring the clay up to make the clay taller. I feel the class was good value for money and the fact that it was fun and nobody was + more
Seb
Heart-shaped Flower Arrangement Class
This was a valentine's gift to my girlfriend and we both had a great time, the arrangement turned out beautiful and Malina was so friendly and hospitable!
Hannah Colgan
Valeria was really informative and talked us through each step of the process. It was so lovely to do the whole thing from beginning to end and get to take home a box of macarons. We made three different fillings, 2 colours (and mixed!) and learnt how to pipe the batter correctly. Valeria also emailed us all the recipes and instructions afterwards so I felt that I could just be present and concentrate + more
Maria Duk
It was a lovely class, learned a lot and had a beautiful terrarium to take home. It was a Christmas present for my partner who really enjoyed the workshop.
Julia Bridgwater
Ikebana Flower Arranging Workshop
A really enjoyable afternoon with Nono. Unbelievably hard to do a simple flower arrangement but with her guidance managed to produce something passable with her beautiful flowers! A wonderful teacher who has shed light on the art of Ikebana and a great birthday present for me.
Vithiya Muthukumarasamy
UNIQUE AND FUN experience! It is a fantastic weekend activity and a special present for a friend.
Lin
Thoroughly enjoyed this class. I had bought the class as a birthday present for a friend and we both found everything about the class excellent. The teacher explained everything clearly and the paints and canvases were good quality. The food and wine were good too.
Julia Anne Graham
Silver Sea Glass Ring Making Class
I received a sea glass ring making class as a Christmas gift and spent a most enjoyable day engaged in this. Our tutor Sarah was very professional and knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure that each participant got the best experience possible. She was particularly encouraging when I struggled with some of the processes and I left with my very own sea glass ring at the end of the day.
Eden Blakeman
We had Elena as our teacher and she was great - super nice and interactive. It was a guided painting class so we essentially watched her paint something step by step and copied, but she also gave us the artistic freedom to make changes. I did this with my brother as a present for him and it was really nice to spend time together painting!

Luxury Vegan Candle Making Workshop
Marina was very welcoming and friendly. She was clearly knowledgeable about aromatherapy and was very patient with everyone’s questions. We all had a great time. Can’t wait to gift my candle!
Jonathan James Feria Soriano
Luxury Vegan Candle Making Workshop
The workshop is amazing! The atmosphere is very friendly and chill. We learned a lot from Marina as a teacher armed with her “nose for the business”. She shared a lot of her wisdom and this is a great gift for people who would like to learn new things. At the end of the fun-filled two hours you get to go home with your own candle creation. Also, perfect avenue for meeting new people. Highly r + more

Gift them the chance to try something new, explore a new hobby and get creative - something even more exciting than a material object.
Unique birthday gifts

Unforgettable birthday present ideas

Whether they’re creating memories by cooking up a storm with a cooking class online led by an expert chef or by learning how to make soap with an artisan organic soap maker - with an experience as a gift, they’ll make lasting memories that will warm their hearts for years to come. Not only that but by giving a birthday gift experience, you could be giving them the gift of a new skill, passion or hobby - a gift that just keeps on giving. When it comes to unforgettable birthday present ideas, we think our selection of gift experiences has the potential for creating not just lifelong memories but also inspiring a new love of all things creative and crafty.
When it comes to birthday gifts for mum, your gift could help her find her love of flower arranging or ignite her interest in candle making. It could help her to fill those evenings when she’s looking for fun things to do at home, with a hobby she really loves. Our public classes could even help her to meet new friends or a community of like-minded others. When you give an experience as a gift, the possibilities are endless and the memories, unforgettable.
